Photowalk 3

There’s something about old buildings, barns especially. Combine with the trees of winter and a cloudy day and you’re in for a special treat! And, you have today’s photowalk subject.

I know I’m not the only one who appreciates the true beauty of old barns and buildings. However, I would venture that the vast majority of the people who drive by (and perhaps the owners) see only a worn-out, dilapidated shell of a building on the verge of falling over ~ if they even notice them at all. But, despite what you see at first glance, there’s so much life in those weathered exteriors… a testament to standing strong in the face of harsh weather and time. Sounds like life, right?!

As I went through all of the photographs I took (which was 89 this time! getting freer!) I noticed I’m drawn to the red ones. I didn’t give that any thought as I took the photographs, in retrospect I think it may be the blast of color, or contrast, in an otherwise bleak setting.

Here are the 3 barn photographs I like the best:

And this old stone building. It seems happy in this state, since it doesn’t seem to have changed in all the years and 100’s of times I’ve driven by.

I love this, I feel we are kindred spirits. I have not been on Word Press for all that long. I joined about a year ago but just recently started contributing. I am now figuring out how to use the reader. Glad I found you and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Thanks so much, Maureen! I’ve only been on a few weeks, but I’m learning new stuff on Word Press pretty much every day (I just found the reader 2 days ago!) I’ve followed your blog and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff, too! Thanks for writing to me!
